January 1, Connecticut Clearing 44,000 Convictions in 2023

Thousands of Connecticut residents with “low-level cannabis convictions” will have their records cleared as of Jan. 1, 2023, Gov. Ned Lamont (D-CT) announced.
Roughly 44,000 people convicted of possessing a small amount of marijuana will have their convictions erased from their records, including some from more than 30 years ago.
Lamont cited two reasons for the mass-expungement. The first: Connecticut legalized recreational marijuana in July 2021, allowing adults 21+ to carry 1.5 ounces on their person or five ounces in a locked container, locked glove compartment, or trunk.
“On January 1, thousands of people in Connecticut will have low-level cannabis convictions automatically erased due to the cannabis legalization bill we enacted last year,” Lamont said.
The second reason, Lamont said, is to help fill “hundreds of thousands” of open positions in the state’s job market.
“Especially as Connecticut employers seek to fill hundreds of thousands of job openings, an old conviction for low-level cannabis possession should not hold someone back from pursuing their career, housing, professional, and educational aspirations,” he said.
Connecticut currently ranks at #43 for “State Unemployment Rate,” with 4.3% of the work force unemployed, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
State officials said that residents will be cleared based on when their conviction occurred. According to the press release from the governor’s office, under the Clean Slate law:
- Convictions for violations of C.G.S. § 21a-279(c) for possession of under four ounces of a non-narcotic, non-hallucinogenic substance imposed between January 1, 2000, and September 30, 2015, will be automatically erased on January 1, 2023. People included under this provision of the law need not do anything to make these convictions eligible for erasure.
- Convictions for the following violations can be erased if one files a petition in Superior Court:
- Convictions for violations of C.G.S. § 21a-279 for possession of less than or equal to four ounces of a cannabis-type substance imposed before January 1, 2000, and between October 1, 2015, and June 30, 2021.
- Convictions for violations of C.G.S. § 21a-267(a) for possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia for cannabis imposed before July 1, 2021.
- Convictions for violations of C.G.S. § 21a-277(b) imposed before July 1, 2021, for manufacturing, selling, possessing with intent to sell, or giving or administering to another person a cannabis-type substance and the amount involved was under four ounces or six plants grown inside a person’s home for personal use.
According to state officials, Connecticut residents who have their convictions erased can legally declare that their convictions never happened.
“Residents who have had their records erased may tell employers, landlords, and schools that the conviction never occurred,” the governor’s office said.

Armed Impostor Arrested at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Event in Los Angeles (Video)

In a chilling episode that underlines the growing security concerns for political figures, a man posing as a federal agent was apprehended at a campaign event for presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in Los Angeles. Shockingly, Kennedy has been refused Secret Service protection by the federal government, even with consistent threats looming over his campaign.
The event, held at the renowned Wilshire Ebell Theatre, saw an unexpected disruption when the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) was alerted to an individual trying to pass himself off as a U.S. Marshal. This dubious character was armed and confidently sported “a badge on their lapel, a gun, and a shoulder holster,” as reported by Breitbart.
In an even more brazen attempt to blend in, the impostor proclaimed to be a part of the event’s security detail. Yet, when questioned further, none of the staff members could verify his claims. A note provided to the campaign, as witnessed by Breitbart, stated, “Male imp. fed. agent w/ handgun and ammo exposed. Claimed to be employed for event, but wasn’t recognized by sec.”
Thanks to the vigilance of the security team, a potentially hazardous situation was averted. Video footage captured the man’s arrest, where he can be seen being methodically handcuffed and led away by LAPD officers.

Following this unsettling incident, Kennedy released a statement expressing his gratitude towards the sharp-eyed security team from Gavin de Becker and Associates (GDBA).
He detailed, “The man, wearing two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines was carrying a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID. He identified himself as a member of my security detail. Armed GDBA team members moved quickly to isolate and detain the man until LAPD arrived to make the arrest.”
Kennedy’s pleas for enhanced security, especially in light of his family’s tragic history, have gone unheeded. Both his father and uncle were tragically assassinated, yet the current administration has not granted him the Secret Service protection typically allotted to presidential candidates.
“I am the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection,” Kennedy lamented.

1963 Assassination Witness Challenges JFK “Magic Bullet” Theory

Paul Landis, a former Secret Service agent, who was a mere few steps away from President John F. Kennedy on the fateful day of his assassination, has broken his silence, raising new concerns about the long-debated “magic bullet” theory.
Landis, during his interaction with The New York Times and in his upcoming book, gave an account of that traumatic event which he has tried for decades to forget. He opined that if his memories from that day are accurate, the long-held “magic bullet” theory might need a serious revisit.
The year following the assassination of President Kennedy, the Warren Commission Report came out with the “magic bullet” theory. As per the report, a single bullet, fired at the president’s limousine, managed to injure both President Kennedy and Texas Governor John B. Connally Jr. This single-bullet theory was bolstered by the fact that a bullet was discovered on Connally’s stretcher at the Parkland Memorial Hospital.
But Landis, now 88, challenges this notion. According to him, he discovered the bullet, not on the stretcher, but on the limousine seat itself.
Landis recalls, “There was nobody there to secure the scene, and that was a big, big bother to me. All the agents that were there were focused on the president.” He added, “This was all going on so quickly. And I was just afraid that — it was a piece of evidence, that I realized right away. Very important. And I didn’t want it to disappear or get lost. So it was, ‘Paul, you’ve got to make a decision,’ and I grabbed it.”
Based on his memory, the bullet that he found had hit Kennedy in the back and hadn’t penetrated deeply. This bullet exited before the president was removed from the limousine. Landis’s revelations raise a significant question – was Lee Harvey Oswald the only shooter?
While conspiracy theories and questions about Oswald acting solo have persisted over the years, official records released by the National Archives have not provided any definitive evidence that counters the Warren Commission’s conclusions.
However, Landis’s recollections have been met with skepticism by some historians. They assert that his claims don’t align with their extensive research and the “cold hard facts” known about that day.
Author Gerald Posner argued, “Even assuming that he is accurately describing what happened with the bullet… It might mean nothing more than we now know that the bullet that came out of Governor Connally did so in the limousine, not on a stretcher in Parkland where it was found.”
Nevertheless, with a witness of Landis’s stature coming forward, the debate over the “magic bullet” theory is bound to reignite, leaving many to wonder once again about the events of that tragic day.

Benghazi Hero: Hillary Clinton is “One of the Most Disgusting Humans on Earth”

Mark “Oz” Geist, celebrated for his valor during the 2012 Benghazi attack, expressed strong sentiments on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during his guest appearance on “The Shawn Ryan Show.”
Shawn Ryan commenced the conversation recalling the grim facts of the deadly 2012 assault on the U.S. mission and diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. He highlighted how Geist, despite being shot 22 times, played a crucial role in saving numerous lives. Ryan poignantly remarked on the incident, “It was, once again, one of the most incompetent times of American leadership.”
The Benghazi event, for many, remains a stark reminder of the alleged negligence and questionable leadership decisions made during that period. Ryan underscored how the incident and subsequent lack of responsibility deeply resonated with a significant portion of the American populace.
Diving deeper into the backstory, Geist posited a theory regarding Clinton’s actions leading up to the events in Libya. He stated, “I think, at the time [Obama got elected] — Hillary Clinton saw her chance to put together a coalition and go after ‘the bad guy,’” referring to the then-Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. This ambition prompted the U.S. to push Ambassador Stevens, in 2011, into Benghazi, with the objective of forging a coalition of militias against Gaddafi.
Geist elaborated on the intricate network of nations rallied by Clinton, saying, “Hillary Clinton put together the coalition of foreign countries — Germany, Italy, France, the U.S. and a few others.” He added an intriguing detail, revealing that “Gaddafi’s sons, this was in 2011, were in D.C. trying to negotiate with the U.S. to allow their father to exile to a third country.”
The former CIA Annex Security Team member further speculated on Clinton’s ambitions, sharing his belief that she “wanted to have a platform to run on in 2016 that said, ‘Look what I did, I overthrew this country, I put this coalition together and we got rid of one of the worst bad guys in the world.’”
Ryan did not mince his words when it came to the former Secretary of State, labeling her as “one of the most disgusting human beings on the planet.” Geist concurred wholeheartedly, adding, “She’s worse than her husband.”
It’s worth noting that Clinton took responsibility for the bureaucratic handling of Americans’ security overseas after the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, perpetrated by the al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist organization Ansar al-Sharia. Subsequent investigations by Republican-controlled congressional committees probed into the actual events of Benghazi and whether there was any dereliction of duty by Clinton or other members of the Obama administration.
As for Geist, his involvement in Benghazi spanned from September 11 to 12, 2012. Known for his bravery and commitment, he’s credited with aiding 25 Americans during the onslaught. Later, he co-authored the book “13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened In Benghazi.”
Hosting the conversation was Shawn Ryan, a former Navy SEAL and CIA Contractor with 14 years of operational experience. His show, “The Shawn Ryan Show,” seeks to narrate the untold stories of battle, loss, and redemption, providing an intimate lens into the lives of those who’ve been in the heart of it all.
